FSFS performance on NAS/NFS

I recently read the following statement on the dev list and wanted to
get some feedback.

"For those people who are using a NAS to store the repository, FSFS
really really really sucks."

The rest of that thread describes proposals on how to improve its performance.

In a conversation on the phone with CollabNet recently we were told
there should be no problem using FSFS repositories on NAS/NFS. The
comment above makes me think that isn't a good idea now. I know
CollabNet uses Berkeley and NAS for their repositories. Perhaps this
is one of the reasons why they aren't using FSFS.

Can anyone give any feedback on the above comment and make a
recommendation? We already are setting up hardware with NAS/NFS for
storage based on CollabNet's recommendation, so if it would be better
to go with Berkeley I'd like to know soon.

Thanks,
Justin
